• Kinetic energy (KE) of a body of mass \(m\) moving at velocity \(v\): \(K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2\).
• Work-Energy Theorem: Work done on a body equals change in its kinetic energy. \[ W = K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \]
• From kinematics: \(v^2 - u^2 = 2 a s\), multiplying by \(\frac{m}{2}\) gives \[ \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - \frac{1}{2} m u^2 = m a s = F s \]
• General vector form: \[ \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - \frac{1}{2} m u^2 = m \vec{a} \cdot \vec{s} = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = W \]
• Change in kinetic energy equals work done by net force.

Solved Examples

• Ex 1: A 2 kg object accelerates from 3 m/s to 7 m/s. Calculate work done.
  • Initial KE: \(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 3^2 = 9\) J
  • Final KE: \(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 7^2 = 49\) J
  • Work done: \(49 - 9 = 40\) J
• Ex 2: Force \(F = 10\) N moves object 5 m in direction of force. Calculate work done.
  • Work: \(W = F \times s = 10 \times 5 = 50\) J

Practice Set

  • A) 112 J
  • B) 96 J
  • C) 80 J
  • D) 64 J

Answer Key

• Q1: B) -24 J — Work done by friction is negative as it opposes motion; \(W = \Delta KE = 0 - \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4^2 = -24\) J.
• Q2: A) 7.5 J — Work \(= F s \cos \theta = 5 \times 3 \times \cos 60^\circ = 7.5\) J.
• Q3: A) 112 J — \(W = \frac{1}{2} m (v^2 - u^2) = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times (36 - 4) = 64\) J. Correction: Actually 64 J, so option D is correct.

Memory Aids

• Work done = force × displacement × cos(angle).
• Work changes kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy

Concept and Formula

• Kinetic energy (K.E.) is the work done to stop a moving body or to accelerate it from rest.
• For a particle of mass m moving at velocity v (v ≪ c), K.E. = 1/2mv² (SI unit: Joule).
• Mass m and velocity squared v² are always positive, so K.E. ≥ 0.
• Kinetic energy depends on the frame of reference.
• Work done on the body equals its kinetic energy.
• Formula K.E. = 1/2mv² holds even if force varies in magnitude or direction.

Relation with Momentum

• Linear momentum p = mv.
• Using p, kinetic energy K = p²/(2m).
• Alternatively, p = √(2mK).

Solved Examples

• Ex 1: Calculate kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass moving at 3 m/s.
  • Use K.E. = 1/2mv² = 1/2 × 2 × 3² = 9 J.

Geometrical Interpretation of Work Done

Concept Explanation

• Work done equals area under force (F) vs displacement (s) graph.
• Positive work: force and displacement in same direction.
• Negative work: force and displacement in opposite directions.
• Force changing sign causes work to be sum of positive and negative areas.

Solved Examples

• Ex 1: Force F = 5 N, displacement s = 3 m, both positive.
  • Work = Area = 5 × 3 = 15 J (positive).
• Ex 2: Force F = -4 N, displacement s = 2 m positive.
  • Work = Area = -4 × 2 = -8 J (negative).

Practice Set

• Q1: If force and displacement are both positive, work is?
  • A) Negative
  • B) Zero
  • C) Positive
  • D) Undefined
• Q2: Force F = -3 N, displacement s = 5 m, work done is?
  • A) 15 J
  • B) -15 J
  • C) 0 J
  • D) 8 J
• Q3: Force changes from positive to negative over displacement, net work is?
  • A) Always positive
  • B) Always negative
  • C) Sum of positive and negative work
  • D) Zero

Answer Key

• Q1: C) Positive - Force and displacement same direction means positive work.

Key Points and Formulas

• Gravitational potential energy at height \( h \) (where \( h \ll R \)) is \( V(h) = mgh \) (SI unit: Joule).
• Gravitational force related to potential energy: \( F = -\frac{dV(h)}{dh} = -mg \).
• Potential energy applies only to forces where work done against the force is stored as energy (conservative forces).
• Mathematically, if force \( F(x) \) can be expressed as \( F(x) = -\frac{dV}{dx} \), then \( V(x) \) is the potential energy function.
• Work done by a conservative force depends only on initial and final positions.
• Change in potential energy \( \Delta V = - \text{Work done by force} = -F(x) \Delta x \).

• Since \( F_c \Delta x = -\Delta V \), then \( \Delta (K + V) = F_{nc} \Delta x \).
• Change in total mechanical energy: \( \Delta E = F_{nc} \Delta x \).
• Over path: \( E_f - E_i = W_{nc} \), where \( W_{nc} \) is work by non-conservative forces.

Solved Examples

• Ex 1: Calculate potential energy stored in a spring with \( k=200 \ \text{N/m} \) and \( x=0.1 \ \text{m} \).
  • Use \( P.E. = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 200 \times (0.1)^2 = 1 \ \text{J} \).
• Ex 2: Find maximum speed of a block \( m=0.5 \ \text{kg} \) attached to spring \( k=200 \ \text{N/m} \) with amplitude \( x_m=0.1 \ \text{m} \).
  • \( v_m = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} x_m = \sqrt{\frac{200}{0.5}} \times 0.1 = 2 \ \text{m/s} \).

Practice Set

  • C) Equal to potential energy
  • D) Equal to kinetic energy

Answer Key

• Q1: B) 4 J — \( P.E. = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \times (0.2)^2 = 4 \ \text{J} \).
• Q2: C) Mass, spring constant, and amplitude — \( v_m = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} x_m \) depends on all three.
• Q3: B) Equal to work done by non-conservative forces — \( \Delta E = W_{nc} \) changes total mechanical energy.

Memory Aids

• Potential energy of spring: \( \frac{1}{2}kx^2 \).
• Maximum speed: \( v_m = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} x_m \).
• Spring force always restores to equilibrium.

Collisions

Definition and Conservation

• A collision occurs when two bodies physically collide or one body’s path changes due to another.
• Momentum and kinetic energy of bodies change due to collision.
• Forces involved are internal action-reaction forces.
• Total momentum is always conserved in any collision.

Types of Collisions

• Elastic collision: Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
• Inelastic collision: Momentum conserved, kinetic energy not conserved.

Coefficient of Restitution (e)

• e = (relative velocity of separation) / (relative velocity of approach) = (v₂ - v₁)/(u₁ - u₂)
• e = 1: perfectly elastic collision
• e = 0: perfectly inelastic collision
• 0 < e < 1: inelastic collision

Solved Examples

• Ex 1: Two bodies of masses m₁ and m₂ collide elastically with initial velocities u₁ and u₂. Find final velocities using conservation laws.
• Use m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ and (v₂ - v₁)/(u₁ - u₂) = 1.
• Calculate v₁ and v₂ from formulas or solve equations.

Practice Set

  • A. 1.6 m/s
  • B. 1.4 m/s
  • C. 2.0 m/s
  • D. 3.2 m/s

Answer Key
